i think one of the things that happened with the debate was that frustrated the obama firewall strategy. the obama people spent something like half of their preconvention money on anti-romney ads in three states. the three states, which aside from indiana and north carolina were their weakest states in percentage terms in 2008. florida, ohio and virginia. and basically with the states they would have 332 electoral votes. they could lose a few other states and still be well ahead of 270. i think what we've seen postdebate is that obama has fallen behind in florida. that virginia is an even state. he remains about two points ahead in ohio, which henry will talk about. i think that that firewall strategy means that this election is very much in play, and the obama campaign that romney only had a very narrow window to 270 is no longer correct. election watch last spring and "washington examiner" column i tried to explore a couple alternative scenarios to that 2004 center of a long hard slog through a fixed list of target states. and i think at least one of them perhaps two, are happening no

so if you look at the chart from mix in -- nixon to carter to clinton to obama for the couple of years that we have been engaged in the health care debate, health care costs have actually slowed down in the period that maybe we should just be debating health care reform for the purpose of pain and stop trying to figure out the cuts. all of you have given a list of things that we can do, and i would like to go to the kind of system change richard suggested. you suggested payment reform, but what you're talking about is how we organize the panic of health care, and that means moving away from the fee-for-service system that we are all very familiar with. i always thought people were pretty thoughtful about that, that it's harder to do than it seems because we don't have consensus reached about whether there should be the bumbled payment for hospitals. we will hear from the specialists if we start to squeeze down on the drug costs for instance that the cancer doctors can diagnose because their cost shifting to cover their other costs so it becomes more complicated to do that. have you see
